DBS Checks

Hi all,

I was hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction... I have recently joined a new organisation that are currently using a very "clunky" and not very user-friendly DBS check service. In my old organisation, we used GBG which was brilliant but for our number of checks here (less than 50 per year) it looks like it will be too pricey in terms of a handling fee (£20 per check on top of Government regulated cost).

Does anyone know of a user-friendly, smart but cheap(ish) DBS check service out there?

Would really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Grace

  • Hi Grace,

    We use Capita  for our online DBS checks, it works out at around £54 per enhanced check, I am not sure how that compares to other organisation that provide this service. The service is pretty good, we haven't had any issues other than the usual delays due those previously or currently living in London.

  • Hi Grace

    We use a company called Care Check. They do DBS checking to cover all needs and we have found them to be very good. They are competitive in cost and efficient in their service.

    Hope this helps

    • Hi Kim,

      Many thanks for this suggestion - they look professional and user-friendly, exactly what I was looking for, so I will get in touch with them next week.

      Have a good weekend,

    • Hi Grace

      I've been trying to find a post on the same article from the CIPD website I remember reading recently that Disclosure Scotland was good but could be a problem if the roles were in England and Wales?? may be worth checking that out! I can't find the discussion to clarify this but thought I would post and mention please let us all know if you find anything out about this.

      Kind regards
